Sarah Ferguson’s future remains uncertain as negotiations with Prince Andrew continue amidst the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal, according to friends. The ex-Duchess of York is reportedly feeling unsettled as she and her former husband seek alternative housing arrangements outside the Royal Lodge, where they have resided together since their divorce in 2008.
Speculation arose that Prince Andrew might move to Frogmore Cottage, previously occupied by Harry and Meghan, while Ferguson expressed interest in Adelaide Cottage, soon to be vacated by William and Kate. However, sources claim that these options have been under consideration for some time and refute claims of demanding new residences.
Buckingham Palace has refrained from commenting on the matter, with insiders denying the reported events. King Charles III purportedly desires his younger brother to vacate the Royal Lodge, where Ferguson has essentially been a long-term guest without legal ties to the King.
Despite the proximity of their potential new homes, Prince Andrew is reportedly willing to separate from Ferguson. Sources close to Sarah describe her as deeply distressed and embarrassed by the scandal, which has implications for both her and her ex-husband.
Following Prince Andrew’s withdrawal from Royal duties post his controversial BBC Newsnight interview in 2019, where he admitted connections to Epstein, Ferguson also faced scrutiny for an email apologizing for distancing herself from him after his conviction.
The Mirror has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comments.
